Landscaping Tips: Winter Maintenance for Hardscapes

Many people think their landscaping chores end when the winter snows begin to fall. Quite the contrary is true, and it is important to remain vigilant during the cold weather months.

Otherwise, you might find yourself with major repair projects in the spring.

Here are some simple things you should do for your hard surfaces to ensure they remain in good condition for many years ahead.

Be careful using salt and other chemical solvents to remove snow and ice. It’s tempting to use these, but you’ll want to make sure they won’t damage your surfaces or cause discoloration or staining in the process.

Maintaining hard surfaces and preventing cracks is important. You will want to fill in and repair any cracks and holes as soon as they develop, lest they grow and become major headaches. One way to avoid most problems is to seal concrete, pavers, and paving stones so that it is harder for ice and dirt to damage them.

This past summer I just had my landscape design redone. It’s really important to me to have a nice yard to look at and to have a presentable social outdoor place. However, now that it is winter I know that it’s going to be more tough to maintain everything. I’m really glad that I came across this blog. I had no idea that I should be careful using slats to remove snow, because I am always throwing snow out on the deck, patio, and driveway. However, what I’m really concerned about concerning the salt is how it affects my grass and plants when the water runs off into the yard. Can salt damage the plant life around my yard?

Absolutely. Salt can burn plants when thrown directly on them, but it can also get into the soil. Once the soil content has too much salt in it the plants will struggle and possibly die, turf included. Obviously you need to avoid salt getting into the soil and on the plants as much as possible, but if it does, drench the soil as much as possible with water when you can to wash out as much of the salt as possible.

I think that your first tip is on point. I have had issues because of salt on my concrete. It caused some discoloration. Since then, I just make sure to be prompt about removing my snow so I don’t have to worry about ice to melt.

I love your image of the stone pathway you have leading up to the house. It is interesting how much of a difference it can make to add a few planting pots to your front yard. I would agree that landscaping is a lot of work to maintain, but it is definitely very appealing and worth it! Thank you for sharing!

You make a great point about how using salt can discolor your hardscapes during the winter. It’s also a good idea to have a hardscape service look at your features after a long hard winter to check for and repair any cracks. A crack may look small and insignificant, but never underestimate the power of ice. It can do a lot of damage over time.

As an alternative to rock salt, I have experience with sodium chloride. Although the price is more expensive than rock salt, it is great choice to maintain concrete hardscape. My colleague suggest calcium magnesium acetate although I still haven’t try it yet.

Great tips you have listed here! Even though we are in the middle of winter, it is still important to take care of your landscape and hardscape. Like you said, you need to be careful with salt and other chemicals. Those can harm grass and plants, as well as damage other aspects of your yard. Just be mindful as to what you are spreading around on the ground.

Thank you for the help. My wife and I just had a stone patio installed and we are determined to maintain it, as you mentioned. I will have to be very cautious to keep an eye out for cracks. How often do you think patching cracks will need to happen?

I love that you can use trees as a way to landscape your yard. I really like how you used trees to encircle the stone path in the photograph you shared. I would agree that making sure you give proper care to your tree is important.

These are some great tips, and I appreciate your advice to not use salt or chemicals to remove snow and ice from your landscape. My husband and I put a lot of concrete into our yard this last summer, and we want to preserve it as much as we can. We’ll definitely refrain from using salts to melt ice this winter so it doesn’t damage anything. Thanks for the great post!

I actually really enjoyed reading this post, and I just wanted to make a quick comment. I hadn’t ever realized that salt and other chemicals can actually damage your surfaces. I will certainly have to be a little more careful about the type of salts that I use to melt the ice on my walkways. Thanks for sharing this.

I know I would have just dropped my garden tools once I saw some snow flakes fall. So this is an eye opener for me. I never knew that the salt and chemicals could damage and discolor my walks. Thanks for all the tips!

Thanks for the warning about winter salt. I’ve been using a lot of it on my driveway lately, but I think I’ll monitor my usage. I didn’t realize it could be harmful. My wife and I would like to keep our new home’s landscape looking nice.

Great post! Thank you for explaining how to keep up my landscaping during winter Curtis! I really liked how you said that,”Maintaining hard surfaces and preventing cracks is important. You will want to fill in and repair any cracks and holes as soon as they develop, lest they grow and become major headaches. One way to avoid most problems is to seal concrete, pavers, and paving stones so that it is harder for ice and dirt to damage them.”. My parents have always hired a contractor to look at our landscaping right before winter to prevent problems and they have always made sure that our landscape could survive the harsh winter conditions.

I didn’t realize that maintaining your yard is important even in the winter months. My husband and I want to replace some of our lawn with hardscaping to conserve water. When winter comes, we will be careful to make sure we don’t use any products that may damage or discolor the surfaces. Thanks for the advice about taking care of the stonework in our yard.

My family and I love working in the yard and having great landscape structures put in. We have heard that this year there is going to be a tough winter, so we really appreciate these tips on how we can help our landscaping last. I like the tip you give of making sure that you are not getting salt and other chemical solvents on the landscape when removing snow and ice. I imagine that that would also help structures to remain longer. I will be sure to keep these things in mind!

Cool post! I really like all of the tips that you provided. Thank you for explaining that “Many people think their landscaping chores end when the winter snows begin to fall. Quite the contrary is true, and it is important to remain vigilant during the cold weather months” I did bad of taking care of landscape and after the snow season was done, my landscape was destroyed so hopefully I can find a good landscape company that can help restore my landscape!

I had not thought of what the salt or other snow clearing chemicals could do to the stone underneath. might be smart to invest in heated stones to clear the snow and keep the plants nearby warm. I will have to pass this on to my friend who has a beautiful stone walkway. Thank you for the information!

I like the insight you gave about maintaining hard surfaces. When you’re able to repair cracks quickly and effectively, your pavers and your hardscaping will last you a lot longer! This not only is cost effective, but it’s beneficial for the value of your home, too. I would think that calling in a professional once a year to repair any damage that might have occurred throughout the year will always be for your benefit. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the landscaping advice and especially the information regarding what to do during the cold winter months to protect your green. I live in a state where it snows quite often during the winter and we often times find our grass dying on us because of the suffocation. We never knew that you could take precautionary measures to help your grass live — thanks again!

This is some really good information about landscaping. I really love being outside in my yard. So, I liked that you pointed out that you should maintain hard spaces. I know that is where I like to sit and read a book in the summer time. Also, it would keep the whole yard looking nice.

It really helped when you talked about the importance of being careful when using salt and chemicals to get rid of ice during the winter since it can damage your landscape areas. I can see that taking the time to educate yourself on this matter can help you avoid having to spend a lot of money trying to reconstruct your landscape. Personally, I would consult with a professional landscaper and have them help me keep my yard looking great and provide some advice on how to care for it myself.

My wife and I are trying to get our house ready for winter, but we aren’t sure where to start when it comes to the yard. I like that you suggest being careful when using salt and chemical solvents to remove ice and snow. I don’t want the chemicals damaging my yard or staining the driveway, so I’ll be sure to be cautious. Thanks for the tips!

I like that you provided some landscaping tips in preparation for the winter season such as being extra careful with the use of salt and other chemical solvents to remove snow and ice. While this is good to get rid of those slippery surfaces, you may want to exercise caution as well because too much salt or chemical application may also damage your pavement. It can also cause some sort of discoloration and staining. Proper maintenance of your landscape and being cautious at the same time would definitely ensure a better-looking exterior of your home. If I were to undergo landscape maintenance, I would make sure to keep this in mind. Thanks.

I wanted to extend a special thanks to the Rosehill Garden team mates for a job well done. Our yard looks absolutely perfect.

Your landscape Architect, Amanda White is not only very talented but is also very customer oriented. We are completely satisfied with her finished work product as well as her “get it done” attitude. Amanda was very focused and efficient in her presentation and handling of the project. Additionally, the ease of doing business with her was unbelievable; she always made herself available.

We are already enjoying the beautiful new look of plant life around our building. We have had a very long construction cycle on the exterior of the branch so the landscaping phase has been fun and refreshing for everyone!

Kimra R.

Glad you and your team are handling all my green projects. It has a great design and natural feel. It is very cool. My customers are blown away. Good job. Incredible.

The Smith household wants to thank you for you capable employees who finalized our wishes at our home. It started with your knowledgeable landscape designer Amanda White who helped us formalize needed yard projects, and then ended with a great 3 person yard crew under Allison Harrison with Amanda making sure our wants were the result.

Your company over the years has helped us with plantings and stonework and we appreciate your expertise and dependability.

Sallie S

Jennifer and her crew did an amazing job. I was so glad to see her. She eliminated so much stress in my life not having to worry about the yard this spring. I felt spoiled. Thank you.

Heidi G

P.S. Can't wait to revisit the design of our front and back yard plans with you

I am extremely please at the appearance of our yard and the professional manner of the people who apply the various applications. I am recommending your services to various folks that I know in our neighborhood and within the KC area.

Thanks for a great looking yard.

I just wanted to say how much I appreciate working with John McLenon for the benefit of the Cass Regional Medical Center Gardens. His proposals & recommendations arrive in a timely manner & he makes every effort to see our dream happen on time & on budget.

Martha S

You are certainly welcome. Having been business owners ourselves, we appreciate & are vocal when we see a good job well done. Exceptional employees are harder to find these days. I grew up in the retail world & worked for Stanley Marcus in St Louis & Dallas. My favorite phrase of his was "there is only one exclusive left today in business... Service to the customer". Rosehill Gardens understands the concept.

Thank you again.

M.H.S.

I had a lady come in and told me she walked right past the UPS store because the pots were so beautiful. It made such an impact she felt the need to tell me about it!!

Great job and please pass it to the people who make this happen!! I can tell you daily how great and beautiful the pots are but when you have people coming into the office to tell me then that deserves a HUGE wow and thanks!!!

Give yourself a self-high five!!!

Linda

I just wanted to pass along the kudos to Rosehill we received this morning in the PV Merchant's meeting!! The pots are such a huge deal to our tenants and you all have made and kept them STELLAR!!! Customers are commenting to the tenants, I am getting comments and they are all positive and wonderful!!

Nancy from Spanglers thanked us for going back to Rosehill!! Yep, that is a fact!

Please pass this along to the rest of the feet on the ground crew and let them know how much we appreciate all of team Rosehill for making our centers AWESOME!!

Linda

Your crew has just left and I want you to know

how WONDERFUL our yard is looking.

You should be very proud of your team.

Thank you..

Looking forward to the next phase.

Happy weekend.

Hi guys!

I just want to pass along how great your teams are doing! The lawn crew, the landscaping crew and the irrigation crew it is always wonderful and I know we are being taken care of!!! Even though the properties have sold I will always appreciate my Rosehill guys!!

Going above and beyond duty is something that just comes with a smile! I do not know how many times Eileen, Brian H. and my landscaping guys have flipped around and gone to take care of something. Who does that??? Rosehill peeps that is who!!

I want the powers to be to know that it has been an honor to work with such great people!!! I say RAISES for all!!!

Thanks guys!!!

Linda

My wife and I really enjoyed working with Jake. He is a fine young man. Jake is very knowledgeable and his work ethic is incredible. He always responds timely whether I communicate via email, text or phone call. I hope Rosehill’s management team have already recognized the fine employee they have representing their company and how he has taken very good care of its customers.

Regards,

Charles

Thank you for the beautiful landscape design. We are so honored to have been chosen for your Veterans' Landscaping Contest. We truly appreciate your support of the military and veteran community. John and Paul were wonderful to work with and provided a design that fits the character and feel of our home and neighborhood. Looking forward to visiting you in the spring for planters. Thank you again for all your support!

Sincerely,

Vanessa and Andrew

I wanted to let you know what a good job Scott and his crew did getting all of our landscaping done for my daughter's engagement party at the end of June. They all made our property look beautiful!

Another beautiful newsletter reminds me I am terribly tardy in thanking you for the amazing work Amanda and her crew performed for us last April. We had ripped out all the overgrown bushes next to the front of our house and didn't have a clue what to plant next. We called Rosehill and were blessed to meet Amanda! She not only knew what would flourish in the troublesome area of mixed sunlight, but she could see we needed extra dirt, suggested redoing the edging in a pleasing design, and added underground gutter drainage to rid us of ugly splash blocks! Your crew was courteous, fast, and offered to do several extras for us, like placing leftover sod on the bare areas of our yard, and hauling away the splash blocks. A couple of months later, Amanda reserved three bushes for our back yard that I found on your database.

In short, we couldn't be more pleased with the design, the initial work, and Amanda's continuing assistance!

Susie S

Great job John !!!!

Much appreciated. The City Entrance (corner of 49th and State Line Road) installation looks impressive and does so much for the intersection.

This is one more step in our ambition to frame our city boundaries and shield against noise, night headlights and increasing traffic flow.

The land owner there says he could hear a difference in noise reduction immediately.

Thank you for your help. Over the years you and Rosehill have done so much to make our City look remarkable.

Please give our sincere thanks also to your hard working crew. We know the devil is in the details.

You all made the daily quality of our life, here in the city of Historic Westwood Hills, more beautiful !

Our Sincere Best,

The miraculous transformation of our outdated dangerous patio to the stunning courtyard has far exceeded our expectations. Although it took longer and cost more than expected, Mike's vision made it worth while. Your crew was quite professional even when faced with some difficulties.

Ruth M.

A short note to inform Rosehill of what a helpful, competent and friendly worker they have in Laurel Taylor. My purchase yesterday was a gift for a difficult person. Laurel helped & suggested many options. I have had her help me over the years and have always appreciated her knowledge and pleasant manner. I hope you appreciate her as well!

Jan. A

I had a good experience with Rosehill. Excellent suggestions on how to improve the appearance; superb suggestions on which trees/flowers/shrubs to add, as well as other landscape design. Had a comprehensive irrigation system installed and retaining wall rebuilt as well. Would use them again in a heartbeat!

Mike S.

Dear Mr. Hansen,

Thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to assist me in my Eagle Scout project. Your knowledge regarding the evergreens and the flowers helped me to achieve my goal. I received many compliments about the planters and how nice they look.

Josh H.

We wanted to thank you, Chip, for taking care of us and for replacing our front yard tree. The three fellows who brought and planted the tree were so very nice too!

Judy T.

Jake Berg is a fantastic designer with fresh new idea. He really takes time to understand what the homeowner wants to accomplish with their landscaping, then researches and come through with amazing ideas. This is our 2nd project he's completed and we plan to do another with him this spring. He's a true gem and a great asset to Rosehill. I've recommended him to friends and family!

Teri S.

Jake, I just love the job you and the crew from Rosehill did on our yard today! It is so nice to have a service and especially you who actually knows about landscaping!

Laura C.

I'm sure this over abundance of rain this spring is a challenge for those in the garden/landscape business - manna for some & headache for others. Its very fortunate your staff was able to start our project earlier than expected beating the rain by a week - things just work out the way they're supposed to. We are very happy with Rosehill's work from initial meeting to last week's completion. John McLenon has been exceptional to work with from design phase of the 4 new beds through the last flare & touchs. With the competitive bid savings, we were able to approve Rosehill's work to replace 19 trees on campus. Hugo & the his workmen were serious, hard working & extremely courteous while on Campus. We all agreed we should like to have them help in our own gardens. These lovely new projects have given our patients & staff a glorified boost of smiles & energy as they anxiously await the grounds coming to life for another year. We look forward to John's ideas for future phases in the Gardens.

We just had the 20 year old landscaping removed at our residence and new landscaping installed. Amanda White was our landscape designer, and she did a fantastic job of designing and overseeing the new landscaping project. She is very detailed oriented, customer focused, and ensures the project is done to the homeowner's satisfaction. Elton also did an incredible job planning and installing the new LED landscaping lighting and new irrigation system for the landscaped area. The entire Rosehill crew worked very diligently in removing the old plants and installing the new plants. Thanks to Rosehill Gardens for an awesome job! The new landscaping has made our home look fresh and 'new' again. We would highly recommend your company to anyone needing landscaping design and installation services.

Linda C.

Two things that have changed since Rosehill took over snow................

1) Calls have gone from no less than 15 an event to one or two and those are melt and refreeze issues not "WHERE ARE THEY??" issues.

2) Tenants have complimented the snow crews.....keep in mind the two tenants that have taken the time to email/call me are two tenants that (bless their hearts) are rarely happy with anything!!! The manager at BRGR said this was the best snow contractor since BRGR has been open!!

The calls from customers and tenants on the complimenting the landscaping is too numerous to count!!

Awesome job guys and a big kudos. Makes our job so much easier!!

Linda

I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciated my experience buying trees from Rosehill Gardens through Chip Hanson at your tree farm. He was so informative and very patient (I changed my mind several times). He was such a delight to work with. Chip is a true asset to your business and I would never think of buying trees anywhere else. Kenny, the installer, was also very conscientious and knowledgeable and very interested in my landscape project. He and his partner worked hard all day and got all the trees planted, even thought they had to finish up in the rain. The trees are perfect and I look forward to seeing them mature. I really appreciated the concern and care from both Chip and Kenny to “get it right”. I’ve had lots of comments on the trees and I tell everyone what a great experience I had with Rosehill Gardens. Please give my thanks to Chip and Kenny.

I just wanted to say how much I appreciate working with John McLenon for the benefit of the Cass Regional Medical Center Gardens. His proposals & recommendations arrive in a timely manner & he makes every effort to see our dream happen on time & on budget. The Cass Regional Foundation received memorial monies on behalf of a physician who died recently. We were given the task of finding an appropriate tribute to be placed either inside or in the Gardens. We decided on a Lyman Whitaker kinetic wind sculpture for placement in the Healing Garden near the water fountain. Within months, 2 new donors stepped forward with similar requests for Whitakers work. I’ve charged John McLenon to create a sculpture bed to enhance & protect the area.

Your crew has just left and I want you to know how WONDERFUL our yard is looking. You should be very proud of your team. Thank you. Looking forward to the next phase.

Nancy H.

I just cannot thank you all enough for such a great crew you have give to us!!! The properties look amazing and each and everyone of your "feet on the ground" peps are so nice, have so much pride in service, so professional!!! I NEVER get any negative comments, only positive comments!!

The irrigation proves to be a challenge and the great Rosehill irrigation team keeps it going!! Even on Sundays (thanks again Brian).

You all are the BEST and I personally am thankful that Ishmael aka Smiley is back!! His smile lights up the center!!! Such a cutie!!!

Thank you so much!!! We LOVE Rosehill!!!!

Linda

I just drove through Corinth Square and all around. It has never looked better. The landscaping is fantastic. The new Westlake garden center is perfect. Great job!

Owen

Many times, people are quick to tell you the bad things about your staff. This is not one of those times.

I am sitting at Steak and Shake on Shawnee Mission and two of your guys just left. As they were leaving, an older couple were walking towards the door. The gentleman was helping his wife as she was using a walker. They were several feet from the door as your people were leaving but, your guys took the time to stop and hold the door for them. One man held the inner door and the other held the outer.

Too often people are so occupied they do not have time for their fellow man. Your people did an exceptional thing and you should know it.

Thanks.

Bob B.

I wanted to share some of the feedback we received about the experience. The response was overwhelming of the beauty and Quality of your products!!!

The majority of the guest had never been in your Nursery and Garden store. They really were taken on the little piece of paradise you have there; I had a person ask me if you have ever had a wedding there? It was so relaxing and a great experience. I can see how it would be hard to get people to leave. It is a great retreat.

Laurel was very helpful and would address any questions that were asked. I am looking forward to the event we discussed for November to make a small centerpiece.

Laura R.

Jason,

I want to express how pleased we are with the outcome of the garden you designed. It is beautiful and all that we could wish for. Great job. I also want to compliment Claus and Benjamin on the work they performed. They went the 'extra mile' and more to make sure everything was done correctly and left everything cleaned up. They even hosed off our patio where they rested and had lunch. What a great work ethic. Please let their boss know how pleased we were with their work and the way they conducted themselves.

Jerry

I just wanted you to know the courtyard was breath-taking. Everyone agreed it is at the top as one of the most beautiful settings we have ever used. It was a lovely evening. Even the weather was perfect. The Red Hat women in Lee's Summit enjoyed it. June was a perfect month. Thanking you again.

Janet K.

I cannot express my sincere gratitude at the magnificent effort put forth on this project. Mission accomplished and by a class act too.

Lee

I just wanted to let you know what a lovely job the young lady did who planted our beds for us. We just had our first big event out here this past Saturday... had somewhere between 65-75 people attend... and they were most complimentary of how the yard/flowers looked! So please pass on my thank you to her, and thank YOU for ensuring that it was completed on time! I even had a few ask who did our planting for us... and I of course passed on your name!

Our next big event will be a High School Graduation Party, sometime between May 18-21, exact date is yet to be determined... but we will have family here that entire time. Thanks again... looking forward to many more events, working together!!

Rhonda

I know we spoke about our “event” yesterday but today I just must share what has been happening here on our job with your crew and designer John. The wall is absolutely perfect, but I had wanted to just make a safe way to get into the back yard without too much cost. The cosmetics were not as important as the practicality and John and I had talked about a couple of different ways. I opted for slate to go down the slope, I was so wrong. Yesterday, the crew laid and cut the slate, etc God bless them, after my husband & I went out we knew it was too much a pitch to be safe for us or the grandchildren. So John came back out this morning and they have removed the slate and we are going back to John’ s original plan of steps. All of them were so kind, and John is particularly a gentle soul, and we will get the steps as soon as John gets things lined out. Just wanted to share my appreciation and I gave the crew my apology for all they had done only to remove. That’s one of the reasons we love working with Rosehill, just a great group of people.

Rosehill is absolutely a 5 star operation. I used them to fully design and install the landscape in my backyard. I met with designer Tom Hall and discussed what I had in mind as far as wish list items, types of features and plants, and Tom delivered a design that not only captured everything I was looking for, but really brought design expertise and concepts that I wouldn't have thought of on my own. I initially planned to tackle this project on my own, but I'm so glad that I hired these guys. They definitely earned their reputation, and I would hire them again in a heartbeat. After signing the contract, the entire process was incredible and very well managed by Tom. The only time I had to call Tom during the project was to tell him how happy I was with the how the yard was shaping up. It has been exciting to return home everyday from work to watch to progress with no hassle on my part at all. We also included lighting and irrigation in the scope of the project, and the materials and work quality are both top notch.

Lance

Absolutely gorgeous setting! The friendly manager, Laurel was gracious and knowledgeable! What a fabulous selection of plants, flowers and garden accessories! The live music with Somerset Winery and Cider Bar is a fantastic touch! Outside music in the courtyard...
